Portion of
231 to close
temporarily
A short section of State Road 231
(Southwest Sixth Avenue) between
State Road 100 and Southwest First
Street is scheduled to be totally
closed to all traffic Monday, Sept.
15, to Wednesday, Sept. 17 (weather
pending), to allow construction
crews to reconstruct the roadway,
according to the Florida Department
of Transportation.
Through traffic will be detoured
to S.R. 100 and either to Southwest
12th Avenue, if headed eastbound, or
S.R. 121 (Southxiest Sixth Street), if
headed westbound. Eastbound traffic
can then turn onto either S.R. 238
(Southwest Second Street) or to S.R.
121 to continue south on 231.
Local traffic can use city streets to
access those businesses and homes
along Southwest First Street. All
business and residential access
will be maintained during the road
closure.
The closure will allow re's
to remove the "hump" in the road
where the old railroad bed is located.
There are no businesses or driveways
located in the closed section.
The work is part of a $2.4 million
road improvement project that began
in late July and scheduled to be
completed by early 2009.
The project also includes
resurfacing S.R. 231 from S.R. 100
to just south of the Reception and
Medical Center. Also, the traffic
signals at the intersections with
100 and 121 are being replaced
and the intersections widened to
accommodate wider turns by semi-
trucks.

project, contact the FDOT Public
Information Office toll-free at (800)

last year. The largest among them is
the gallinipper, or "gallon nipper,"
so called because it is said to drink a
gallon whenever it bites.
The species lays its eggs in dried
cracks in the soil, the offspring
from which emerge following large
flooding events, DeValerio said.
Areas clear cut because of last year's
fires are serving as huge nesting
areas as well, he added.
When overnight traps from a zone
capture 25 or more mosquitoes,
DeValerio said the county is asked
spray that zone. Last week, samples
from every zone with overnight
traps saw huge increases. A couple
of those traps contained more than
1,000 of the biting bugs.
The gallinippers out now are also
laying eggs, which means another
tropical storm could extend the
problem.
The county road department is
said to be doing all it can do to keep
up with spray requests, including
adding another sprayer. The calls
asking foi'more sprays have been
overwhelming, DeValerio said.
"When I walk my dog at night,
I have to hurry up because the
mosquitoes are eating me, too. So
everybody's suffering," he said.

needed, he said. Spraying only
controls the adult mosquitoes that are
sprayed at a given time. Meanwhile,
there are younger mosquitoes ready
to emerge.
Volunteers have helped by
providing yard inspections and
distributing larvacide to treat
standing water. There are a couple

of types of larvacides that people
can seek out, including small
briquettes or wafers that can be
placed in retention ponds, ditches

The Bradford County Sheriff's
Office and the citizens of the county
have grown increasingly concerned
about the aggressive driving patterns
throughout the county. The careless
operation of a motor vehicle,
including moving offenses such as
unlawful speed, are responsible for
an unfortunate quantity of traffic
crashes, injury crashes and traffic
crash fatalities throughout the county.
Bradford County experienced a 28
percent increase in traffic crashes
from 2004 to 2005 compared to a 6
percent increase statewide. Clearly,

aggressive/high-speed driving is a
prevalent threat to safe travel.
The Bradford County Sheriff's
Office was awarded a- $120,000
aggressive driving grant by
the Florida Department of
Transportation. Deputy George
Konkel and former Bradford County
Sheriff's Deputy Drew Moore (now
with Alachua County Sheriff's
Office) applied for the funding
in late 2007 on behalf of Sheriff
Bob Milner. The Bradford County
Sheriff's Office was approved for
funding in March 2008. During this

time, equipment for the Bradford
County Sheriff's Office Aggressive
Driving Program has been purchased,
including two unmarked Dodge
Charger enforcement vehicles with
all necessary vehicle equipment,
in-car video cameras, radar units,
lap top computers and laser speed
measurement devises. Also included
was the purchase of a speed detection
trailer and a large message board.
The grant stipulated that the vehicles
remain unmarked in order to covertly
detect aggressive drivers.

BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor

Nelson Green, head of Bradford
County's emergency medical
services department, has resigned,
and Union County's Allen Parrish
will continue filling the post on an
interim basis.
Green has been on leave from
his county job since early August
he was arrested based on a sworn
complaint by his wife that he hadc
been physically abusive. Both Greenr
and his attorney have denied the-
allegations.
A call for comment on, the
resignation to attorney Terry
Brown's office was not returned as
of press time.
County Manager Brad Carter
proposed that Bradford and Union
counties continue to share Parrish on
a trial basis. Carter confirmed that
Parrish would continue to serve "as
long as necessary," but indicated that
if things continue to run smoothly,
the county might want to consider a
joint EMS director for Bradford and
Union as a permanent arrangement.
Carter asked for the commission's
blessing to begin negotiating with
commissioners in Union County for
an official trial of the joint EMS
directorship.
Commissioners Doyle Thomas
and John Wayne Hersey moved to
grant that blessing, although Hersey
did ask if Shands' Dr. Peter Gianis,
who works closely with county
EMS, had been consulted about the
joint directorship. Hersey wanted to
know Gianis' feelings, and Carter
said the doctor had intended to speak
to the commission in support of the
plan, but was not able to attend the
meeting.
Not everyone was entirely
comfortable with the idea, however,
although all ultimately agreed to
allow the county manager to gauge
Union County's interest. Bradford
Commissioner John Cooper said
he was skeptical the arrangement
would work long term and protect
the county's interests. Cooper saw

County will help fund Starke housing program

BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor

The county is applying for
up to $750,000 in Community
Development Block Grant
Funding for its housing
rehabilitation and replacement
program and will assist the city
in launching its own program
by pledging funds toward its
grant application.
The county will contribute
$115,000 of the $250,000
requested to help the city
maximize the amount of points
it receives on its application
score. Those funds will
be pledged from the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership
program.
The county also uses SHIP
funds asa matchingcontribution
for its CDBG housing grant
applications, which is why
the full amount of Starke's
request was not bestowed.
County commissioners were
skeptical of any contribution
to the city since it has its own
program to think about. County
Community Development
Director Angela Macey said
the arrangement discussed
was dependent on the city's
willingness to give priority to
city of Starke residents already
on the county's waiting list for
SHIP funding assistance.
Currently, Macey estimates
there are around 60 people
on community development's
waiting list, and some of those
reside in the city of Starke. All
can be assisted with state SHIP
funds, but CDBG funds, which
come from a federal source,
can only be spent within the
jurisdiction of the government

the city receives its own CDBG
grant, there will essentially be

"I understand we may save

Cooper said.
Still, Cooper was open to
the idea of finding a.way to

According to Mace, the
city has agreed to give priority
to residents already on lthe
waiting list.
Both funding sources
provide revenue to local
governments to assist very
low, low and moderate income
households. Depending on the
particular needs (and spending
requirements of the funding
awards), the county's housing
program pulls funds from either
or both pots of money to assist
with emergency repairs, new
construction, rehabilitation,
down payment and closing cost
assistance, etc. The purpose is
to provide safe and sanitary
housing, and eligible repairs
are usually those that bring the
home into compliance with
current building standards.
Home ownership counseling
is typically a part of the
package.
The county will replace or
rehabilitate a minimum of 10
dwelling units with any grant
funding it receives through
the CDBG program. Also
covered in the grant award
is money to administer the
grant and temporarily relocate
individuals who need a place
to stay while their home is
being rebuilt or repaired.
The board approved the
application for housing grant
funds as well as the plan to
provide matching funds for
the city of Starke's and its
own CDBG application.

county will administer CDBG

Starke is trying a method
used by other cities to help
stabilize utility bills for its
electricity customers.
While the rate charged each
month for electricity does not
change, two factors can cause
bills to fluctuate, sometimes
greatly: that is the amount of
electricity customers use and
the fuel adjustment charge,
which is the amount customers

pay to offset the volatile price
of the fuels used to generate
electricity. Rising prices,
particularly for natural gas,
have caused prices to spike
several times over the past few
years, and while the price does
come down, it's never returned
to the low cost that once made
it such an attractive option for
generating electricity.
To help offset huge increases
in utility bills when fuel prices
spike, Starke is following
the lead of other cities like

(reen ('ove Springs that have
established rate stabilization
funds. Just like the rate charged
for electricity is fixed, the fuel
adjustment will also remain
fixed at rate of $55 per 1,000
kilowatt-hours of electricity
consumed. If the cost of fuel
is actually less, customer bills
will not drop as usual. Instead,
the difference will be deposited
into the city's rate stabilization
fund.
At first glance, this appears
to keep electricity bills

artificially high. However,
when fuel prices go up,
exceeding the static fuel
adjustment rate, customers
will be protected from the full
impact of the increase because
money will be drawn from
the rate stabilization fund to
cover the additional fuel costs
incurred.
Starke Operations Manager
Ricky Thompson credited
Commissioner Tommy
Chastain with bringing rate
stabilization programs to his

attention. Thompson the $55
per 1,000 kWh fuel adjustment
charge is an average, based
on what the cost has been of
late. If expected benefits from
the voltage conversion project
are realized, that charge could
come down.
Combined with the
residential electric rate
of $75.95 the fixed fuel
adjustment charge will make
the cost of 1,000 kWh of
electricity around $131. That's
higher than investor-owned

utilities like Florida Power and
Light and many public utilities
based on data available from
July of this year. It's about
equally to public utilities in
Gainesville and Lakeland,
and not as much as the
public utilities in a few cities,
including Tallahassee, Ocala
and Green Cove Springs.

Roads will receive a larger share of county's impact fee

BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor

Growth will do more to
build roads now that county
commissioners have amended
their impact fee ordinances to
redirect money that would have
been spent in other areas.
When the county began
collecting impact fees on new
construction on Oct. 1 last
year, the total fee for a new
structure was made up of fees
from seven different areas
(five for new commercial
construction): roads, law
enforcement, fire control,
libraries, public buildings,
emergency medical services,
and parks and recreation.
The total fee was $550 for
a new single-family or multi-
family housing unit. The
same was true for new mobile
homes. Single-family homes
with less than 1,200 square
feet-labeled as workforce
housing-were assessed a
$275 fee. The fee for new
commercial structures varied
depending on business or
industry type and the square

footage of the structure.
(Fees within Starke differ
because the city has its own
impact fee schedule in place. If
an existing structure is changed,
redeveloped, expanded or
modified for future use, and
those changes require issuance
of a building permit, the correct
impact fee will be based on the
net positive increase for the
new use as compared to the
previous use. Expansions of
residential structures are not
assessed an impact fee as long
as no new dwelling units are
created.)
It's important to note that
the total county impact fee has
not increased. By adjusting
the impact fee for roads up but
zeroing out the fees in other
categories, those applying for
permits will see no change in
the impact fee amount they are
asked to pay. What the change
approved Monday means is
that more of what those pulling
permits for new structures pay
will be dedicated to roads.
County commissioners
made this move because the
amount being collected in

the categories to be unfunded
was too small to accumulate
enough funds to actually work
with. The library fee, for
example, is only $5 per new
home, and developers of new
commercial structures pay
nothing at all toward libraries
or parks. At the same time,
roads are considered a more
pressing concern in need of
whatever additional funding
the county can contribute.
BeginningOct. 1,the amount
of the $550 total residential
fee going to roads will be
$465 instead of $400. Law
enforcement will still receive
$50 per new home, and fire
enforcement will still receive
$35. (These amounts are less
for workforce housing.)
Categories no longer
being funded by residential
impact fees are libraries,
public buildings, emergency
medical services, and parks
and recreation. The categories
are still on the books and can
be refunded by an amendment
of the impact fee ordinances at
any time, but beginning with
the new fiscal year, the fee

schedule of those categories is
set at $0.
The same is true of
the categories for new
nonresidential construction.
Commercial impact fee
revenue previously earmarked
for public buildings and
emergency medical services
will also be deposited in the
road fund,although the amount
is based on square footage and
proposed use.
Impact fees are deposited
into funds based on category
and do nbt go into any
department's budget for
general expenditures. The
county commission must
specifically approve the use
of impact fee funds, and there
are restrictions on how the
commission can expend impact
fee revenue.
The justification for the

imposition of impact fees is
based on the premise that there
are costs related to growth
that those responsible for the
growth need to pay so that
taxpayers in general aren't left
with the bill for infrastructural
improvements.
For that reason, projects
funded by impact fees must
be related to growth, that is
to say, designed to offset the
impact of growth. Also, those
paying the fees must benefit
from their use (although the
county may keep 5 percent to
cover the cost of impact fee
administration). They could
also be used to retire debt
related to such projects, or
to compensate a developer
for contributing capital
improvements beyond those
required under the county's
land development regulations.

The county has a limited
period during which it can
use the impact fees it collects.
Fees collected but not spent
within a period of six years
can, upon application of the
payer within 180 days of that
six-year period, be refunded
along with the interest earned
while that money was held in
the impact fee trust fund.
Because 200 residential
permits would still generate
less than $100,000 annually
for roads and the cost of
constructing just one mile
of road exceeds $1 million,
the county commission could
find itself in the position of
contributing supplementary
revenue to complete any
project impact fees have been
designated to fund.

Secondhand

smoke a

health risk
Secondhand smoke exposure
is known to cause disease and
premature death in children
and adults who do not smoke.
It causes approximately 3,400
lung cancer deaths and 22,700-
69,600 heart disease, deaths
in adult nonsmokers in the

United States each year.1
In fact, nonsmokers who are
exposed to secondhand smoke
at work are at increased risk for
adverse health effects and have
increased absenteeism rates.
Due to this, many businesses
have enacted a smoke-
free policy.' Since 1999, 70
percent of the workforce has
enacted said policy. Workplace
productivity has increased and
absenteeism has decreased.'
(American Lung Association.

Secondhand Smoke Fact Sheet
www.lungusa.org.)
Secondhand smoke is
especially harmful for
children. It is responsible for
between 150,000 and 300,000
asthma and other respiratory
track infections in children
under the age of 18 months a
year. It is also documented to
cause 790,000 physician visits
related to inner ear infections
a Near.
Additionally, recent research

indicates a correlation between
exposure to secondhand smoke
and Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome. Sadly, in the United
States, 35 percent of children
live in homes where residents
or visitors smoke in the home
on a regular basis.
If you smoke and need
assistance quitting, please call
the local tobacco prevention
program at (904) 964-7732
or (386) 496-3211. You can
also call the Florida Quitline

at (877) U-CAN-NOW for
access to free nicotine patches

smoking in a restricted area
you can call (800) 337-3742

The association provides

in four fun-filled hours at the
Bradford Farmers Market.
Successful vendors reported
up to $600 in sales on a single
Saturday during the first three
months of the Bradford Farmers
Market earlier this year. Plus,
they had a great time meeting
customers, sharing gardening
tips and helping folks enjoy
the food they grow.
If you've always wanted to
have a little business of your
own, but didn't want to spend
a whole lot of time cooped
up in a store or tied to the
phone, consider setting up
shop every Saturday morning
at the Bradford Farmers
Market. Rent is cheap-just
$10 a Saturday; and you don't
have to come every Saturday,
just the market days when you
have produce to sell.
You don't have to be a
"qualified gardener" to sell at
the Bradford Farmers Market.
If your orange tree or other
fruit tree bears an over-
abundance of fruit each year,
or if you're tired of hearing
your neighbor down the street
complain about all the pecans
or Kumquats that go to waste,
or maybe your own vegetable
garden produces too much
each year, then one Saturday at
the Market can help you turn
that "waste" into cash.
Perhaps your child needs
to complete a science or
mathematical project for
school. Growing a garden not
only qualifies but also is in
keeping with Bradford's rural
agricultural roots. And, when
he or she sells the produce
at the market, the learning
experience becomes a true

The Environmental Quality
Improvement Program and the
Wildlife Habitat Improvement
Program are two examples.
These programs help

planting, mowing underbrush,
conducting control burns,
installing more efficient
irrigation systems,constructing
fences and controlling invasive.

entrepreneurial exercise. A
market project helps your
child embrace the American
spirit that makes our country
the envy of the world; and they
get an A on the school project.
Maybe you are a crafter.
There are three market
Saturday that put the spotlight
on crafters.This year craft days
are just in time for Christmas,
Mother's Day and Father's
Day. Start crafting now so that
you can help folks get locally
made gifts for Christmas. The
next day that crafters can vend
is on Dec. 13. Remember to
come at 7 a.m. to set up shop.
Locally grown is the rule at
the Bradford Farmers Market,
but you don't have to be the
one that grew it. If you know
other gardeners or small
farmers who have produce to
sell, you can bring it to the
Bradford Farmers Market and
sell it for them. You can also
sell food made by local people
in restaurant kitchens, boiled
peanuts, or coffee and spices.
As the market gets more
vendors, it draws more and
more customers. For example,
at the close of the season last
spring, 100 to 200 people
came to shop the market's four
to eight vendors each market
day. Customers come from
St. Augustine, Orange Park,
Gainesville, and Bradford
and Union counties to shop
starting at 8 a.m. each market
Saturday. The market is open
October through June at the
Bradford Health Department
and will reopen Saturday, Oct.
4. Vendors start setting up
tables or tailgates at 7 a.m.
each market Saturday.
The market is also a place for

plants.
It also work closely with
Hugh Thomas from the Florida
Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services. The
department works with farmers
to implement best management
practices to protect surface
and ground water quality
and to insure that farming
operation .use irrigation water
efficiently. ...

people to get information and
free goods. During the opening
three months of the market,
customers came to get free
trees, free herbs, pedometers,
information on avoiding crime
and so much more. This helps
draw customers to the market
and to the vendors.
The vendors share
camaraderie and a sense-of fun
and adventure at the market.
Customers enjoy visiting with
each other and the vendors,
too.
The food is also more
nutritious simply because it
hasn't traveled for miles and
miles to get to the table' This
helps us reduce our carbon
footprint so that we can walk
more lightly on the Earth.
It's about so much more
than money. A successful
farmers market helps build
community, supply healthy
food, give a sense of homeland
security, keep the economics
of a community healthy and
reduce greenhouse gases.
If you, your family or a

(StatePoint) Today's
kids have the overflowing
paperwork and bulging day
planners of pint-sized CEOs.
And organizing those activities
and assignments takes capable
assistants: mom and dad.
"Without parental
intervention, virtually all
elementary school children,
and many middle and high
school youths, will be
unable to manage the flow
of information from school to
home and back again," says
Dr. Anne Rambo, associate
professor of family therapy at
Nova Southeastern University
in Florida and author of the
book, "I Know My Child Can
Do Better!"
Institute a daily backpack-
unpacking ritual, she advises.
Sit down with your child after
school and sort through all the
contents, putting them in one
of six piles: trash; supplies;
books; things to keep (like

Choosin

graded papers); long-term
assignments (instructions for a
book report due next month);
and short-term assignments
(homework due the next day).
"After you've thrown out the
trash, put the books back, and
saved what you wanted to keep,
you're left with short- and long-
term assignments. Designate a
folder that returns to school,
for homework, permission
slips and everything else that
should go back the next day,"
she says.
Keep a second folder for
long-term projects at home.
"Assignment sheets for reports
due later, information about
upcoming field trips, and the
like stay in this folder."
"Organization is a skill
your child needs for future
academic success," she says.
"A teacher doesn't have time to
teach your child this. The task
is up to you."

(SPM Wire)
The right foods
can provide fuel
for your children's
bodies and minds
-- and after-school
snack choices can
be as important as
mealtime decisions.
"When you are
grocery shopping,
keep in mind that
if a snack is in the -,
home, your children
will likely eat it. So
keep healthy food in the house
at all times to ensure that they
_will always have healthy snack
options," says Catherine Kraus,
a dietitian at the University of
Michigan Health System.
Focus on finding snack foods
that will keep kids satisfied
until dinner and energized for
homework and studying. And
keep candy bars and other junk
food out of the house.
For optimal energy and
hunger satisfaction, Kraus
recommends pairing protein
with a high fiber carbohydrate:

serve up string
cheese or peanut
butter with whole
grain crackers
or prepare a half-
sandwich made with
whole grain bread
or pita.
Another tasty treat
option is creating a
homemadesmoothie
I by blending yogurt
L and fruit together.
She also suggests
that parents take
time each day to wash and slice
fresh fruits and vegetables.
Remember to place the produce
on the counter or at eye level
in the refrigerator so it is more
accessible to children.
According to Kraus,
a balanced, healthy diet
enables chemical messengers
in the brain -- known as
neurotransmitters -- to
function more efficiently. This
produces better concentration
and memory.

Regional News
News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region area

Bradford Fest
replaces fall
festival
Fall is in the air-or at least
the humidity's a bit lower-
and with fall comes shorter
days, crisper mornings and the
Starke Fall Festival, right?
Not this year. Instead, get
ready for Bradford Fest, a
whole new series of fun
community and cultural events
in Starke between November
and February.
"We're not going to do the
Starke Fall Festival, but the
good news is, we're going to
do more and different kinds of
events," said Kathryn Lehman,
cultural affairs coordinator for
Santa Fe College. "The
scheduling of our new events
really worked better between
January and February."
Bradford Fest's main event
is the Bradford Fest Cook-Off
scheduled for Feb. 20-21. This
is a barbecue contest with 25
to 30 teams competing at the
Bradford County Fairgrounds.
Judges will be certified by the
Florida Barbecue Association.
Steve Denmark of Denmark
Furniture, will serve as master
of ceremonies.
The six-member River City
Band of Jacksonville, the
state's official band, will
perform their style of
Dixieland jazz Saturday
afternoon, thanks to a State of
Florida Touring Company
grant.
And for kids, the menu that
weekend will consist of more
than just good eats. The cook-
off will also feature fun
children's activities, such as a
children's art show and free
arts and crafts activities, face
painting and performances by
young singers, dancers and
musicians.
The barbecue contest is a
fundraiser for scholarships for
Bradford County students who
want to attend Santa Fe
College, and to let people in
Bradford County know about
literacy services available at
the Starke Public Library. For
instance-,- the--l-br-ary- has- a. ,
computer lab with software to
help improve people's reading
skills, and there are other
resources available for people
who need help with their
reading. People just need to
know what those resources are.
"This is a great way to tie
together the services that
Bradford County needs with
both cultural enrichment and
fun," Lehman said.
The state has changed its
vision for cultural affairs, and
Bradford Fest aligns perfectly.
"The new theme, 'Culture
Builds Florida's Future,'
means state-sponsored cultural
events should strengthen the
economy, promote learning
and wellness, build leadership
and advance design and
development," Lehman said.
The Bradford Fest series
kicks off Nov. 22 with "The -.
Nutcracker" holiday ballet
presented by Dance Alive! at
Bradford High School.
"The kids in Bradford
County love it when we bring
ballet to Starke," Lehman said.
Last year, Dance Theatre of
Santa Fe, Santa Fe College's
student dance troupe,
performed the Elements of
Style dance concert in Starke,
while Dance Alive! presented
its original children's ballet,
"Lady Bug, Action Hero."
"Both were really popular,"
Lehman said.
Also in the works for
Bradford Fest are a concert by
the Gainesville Chamber
Orchestra and recitals and
concerts in the Santa Fe
College Cultural Center by
Santa Fe students.

60 years of
silence,
suffering
come to an
end
Gregory Blunt, 23, an Air
Force veteran and college
student, was spending the
summer in Florida when he
met Mary Hucks, 23, an
Atlanta secretary on a two-
week vacation in Daytona
Beach. On Saturday, Aug. 14,

1948, the couple stopped by a
liquor store before going to the
beach. Little did they know
they were being observed and
followed by two men, whose

intentions were
unconscionable and deadly.
The two men confronted the
couple, shot and killed Blunt
with a .22-caliber rifle and
raped Hucks. After the sexual
encounter, Hucks was killed.
Other than footprints, which

apprehending the killers, there
was nothing in the way of
evidence to connect anyone to
the crime.
In time, the case was
consigned to the cold case
files. It was reviewed at times,
but nothing was found in
subsequent years. Special

investigator JJ. Elliot was
perhaps the most
knowledgeable law
enforcement officer to work
the case, but his untimely
death stymied further efforts.
The case languished.

the shooting. Wolford claimed
it was Robinson.
When the gun was fired, the
three men ran from the store,
jumped into their car and fled
east on S.R. 16. Silcox ran into
the street, saying, "They shot
me. They shot me."
Patsy Silcox, David's
daughter-in-law, lived across
the street and heard the shot.
She looked out to see Dave in
the street, bent over and
bleeding from the stomach.
She ran to him and helped him
to the'curb, cradling him in her
arms until help arrived and he
was taken to the hospital. He

hysteria began to swell as
rumors swept the crowd-
people believed in error that
residents of Reno were
involved. (Reno is a
predominantly black
community; the three men
involved in the shooting were
black). Cooler heads, led by

college readiness skills.
With the help of BHS
guidance counselor Elaine
Franklin and Santa Fe Office
of Diversity counselor Dontray
Rollins, this was the largest
number of students ever
selected from Bradford*
County. This group
demonstrated its dedication by
driving from Bradford C6unty
to Gainesville daily. With the

truly positive reflection of our

disaster was averted.
Dave Silcox was born and
reared near Reno. He enjoyed
a mutual relationship with
Reno residents common
throughout the South, but
rarely understood by outsiders.
So did Vernon Silcox, whose
work.kept him in contact with
Reno residents. In fact,
residents of Reno provided
information essential to
breaking the case.
The three men involved in
the shooting were driving a
distinctive car-difficult to
hide and easily spotted in any
locale. Local.people had seen
the car before and knew it was
from Jacksonville, narrowing
the search area. The car was
located, leading to the
apprehension of its owner-
Wolford-who, in turn,
implicated the other two men.

found in Manchester, Ga. Both
men were returned to Starke
for trial.
The three men made
individual confessions and
were tried and convicted in

Institution, which was Florida
State Prison at that time.
Bradford County Sheriff

P.D. Reddish, a former farmer
and county commissioner, had
been in office less than a year.
He was now confronted with
his first murder. The record of
investigation, trial, conviction
and execution was carried out
expeditiously and \without
legal conflicts or complaints.
The case was closed as far as
Bradford County was
concerned.
Something was terribly
wrong, though-not with the
Silcox case, but with law
enforcement's failure to
connect the Silcox murder with
the murder of the two young
people nine months earlier on
a Volusia County beach. While
the men involved in the Silcox
murder made confessions,

Although World War II, the last "good"
war in which the United States engaged,
is fading from the memories of average
Americans, a few of us remember the
rationing of commodities, some of which
amounted to recycling, such as turning in
an old tire to get a new one, or turning in
a toothpaste tube when purchasing a new
one. The soft metal content of the tube was
essential to the war effort. I well remember
the hostility of a merchant when I didn't have
an empty tube to turn in, although he finally
relented. (I was in uniform.) Patriotism was at
its zenith and the vast majority of Americans
complied willingly with wartime restrictions
for rationing and recycling, and looked down
their noses at those who failed to follow the
rules.
Today, as in yesteryear, the nation is
again at war, but few of us feel the pain of
battle and continue our merry way, ignoring
the one thing all of us can participate in,
namely, recycling the limited number of
items that have intrinsic value to the nation,
or unnecessarily clog our landfills. We are all
the poorer for neglecting to recycle products
that can become another useful item, and
at the same time slow the building of giant
landfill mountains.
Prior to 1988, landfills in small Florida
Counties were little more than an open dumping
ground, perhaps unfenced, a breeding ground
for vermin and varmints, and a fertile field for
scroungers seeking metal or other sellable or
reusable items. Actually the garbage dumps
may not have been as unsanitary as unsightly,
but being unsupervised, they were subject to
the dumping of dangerous waste products.
SLarger, more prosperous counties farther
South were building modern, mountain-sized
; landfills years earlier.
: Before the opening of the New River Solid
SWaste Landfill facility in Union County,
- Bradford County had four garbage disposal
Areas, the landfill on S.R. 100 South and three
open-field dumping grounds at Sampson
Lake Road, the outskirts of Lawtey and at
New River. The city of Starke had a garbage
dump on Old Lawtey Road. Bradford County
made a valiant attempt to maintain a sanitary
landfill, covering debris with dirt from time
to time, but the other sites left much to be
desired.
The Florida Solid Waste Management
Act of 1988 established recycling goals for
all counties in Florida, with a goal of 30
percent compliance in five years. In the
same legislative session, the state imposed
regulations for all Class I sanitary landfills
to be lined with clay to protect ground
water, and required all existing landfills to
be closed and monitoring wells installed.
Baker, Bradford and Union counties formed
an alliance to construct a landfill facility to
meet all sanitary standards for solid waste
disposal and to meet recycling regulations
within the three-county area. The Department
of Corrections was out of compliance .with
the.new regulations for garbage disposal, and
joined the tri-county consortium, contributing
200 acres of prime real estate at Ellerby Curve
on S.R. 121, north of Raiford, making a win-
win situation for the four entities. Corrections
relinquished any interest in management of
the facility, leaving the three counties in full
administrative control.
In joining forces to meet solid waste
regulations, the three counties relegated
recycling responsibilities to the new
organization, the New River Solid Waste
Association. The association applied for
grants and received funding for the purchase
of igloo recycling containers for the various
types of materials-aluminum and steel cans,
plastic bottles, glass and newsprint. Igloos

were placed in strategic sites in the three
counties, and in each of the county seats.
Employees collected the material from the
containers and brought it to the collection site
for further sorting and baling in preparation
for marketing.'While the three county seats
provided locations for the igloos, they
received nothing for the materials collected.
The system remained essentially unchanged
for about 15 years.
In 2003, the Florida Recycling Grant
Program was terminated, seriously crippling
the recycling program in small counties, which
were labor intensive because of the required
collecting, sorting, baling and marketing of
materials. In a successful program, materials
must be picked up at the curb because
volunteer use of igloos for collection doesn't
receive full participation; but only large
metropolitan areas can provide curb pickup.
The margin between program cost and the
selling price of recyclable materials is so thin
only the larger counties can offer a recycling
program without subsidies. New River Solid
Waste Association counties cannot afford
to fully' implement a recycling program,
relying entirely on voluntary participation.
Unfortunately, the system isn't working as
well as officials would like, and tons of
plastic bottles and other materials go into the
landfill, adding expense and wasting space.
The association has replaced the six igloos
at each site with three containers, combining
the collection of steel and aluminum cans,
plastic bottles and jugs in one, newspapers
in another and cardboard in the third. Glass
is no longer collected in local recycling
facilities. Cardboard collection containers are
also positioned at each of the large retailers
in the three counties, other than Winn-Dixie
and Wal-Mart stores, which have their own
recycling systems. The association contracts
the disposal of cans, plastics and newspapers,
and sells the cardboard; making the recycling
program self-sufficient for the first time.
While county officials would like to see more
recycling participation by citizens, the present
system is working about as well as possible
within the confines of fiscal restrictions.
The association has expanded its recycling
program to recover a number of solid waste
materials delivered to the New River Regional
Landfill, including electronic equipment, old
computers, tele\ isions and other itemn to
reduce the environmental threat these items
pose in disposal. Other items being accepted
are concrete, metals (including appliances),
tires and yard waste (wood products). Yard
waste had previously been dumped into a
Class III (unlined) landfill, but it is now
converted to mulch and used in erosion
control and other areas. Mixed glass of all
colors is accepted and reused as an aggregate
in the bioreactor system, but not accepted in
the collection boxes.
Garbage disposal and recycling go hand
in hand in eliminating trash in streets and
yards that was once the responsibility of
individuals. Each family was responsible
for garbage disposal, which was usually
burned and buried, or possibly hauled
clandestinely into the woods and dumped.
That system could no longer be sustained for
many reasons. Since the "no fence" law of
1948, Florida landowners have largely fenced
their woodlands, eliminating the disposal
of garbage "in the woods," and backyard
burning is frowned upon, especially in dry,
windy weather. We've come a long way
in this area of concern, and owe a debt of
gratitude to county officials for a job well
done.

of Mlunt and I lucks. 'I li
confessions were ian iiilci.ml
parl of the trial, N'et no one'
neither lihe sheriff's office inIr
state attorney's office
followed up on Mcl)oniald's
story.
A further mystery involved
Elliot, the special investigator
(jurisdiction unknown). He
worked both cases, but many
not have been privy to the
McDonald confession. Elliot
wrote Gov. Fuller Warren that
he didn't believe "that we can
get any nearer to a solution
until an execution date is set."
Elliot had reason to believe
Wolford would make a
confession before being
executed, but Wolford did not
include the "Moonlight
Murders," as the case was
known, in his confession of
killing Silcox. In his le(ler to
the governor, Elliot w\role,
"We know thal one of then
was present at ()rmonid leachAl
that night, and \ve d have t\\o
others under surveillance of
their local police departments,
so that when George Wolford
confesses, as he said he will do
before lie is executed, we can
pick the others up at once."
Elliot's daughter said Ihlliot
received a telegraml from
Starke, which h read, "Youlr
presence is requested for tlhe
departing of our friends"-a
reference to the pending
execution of the three men.
Elliot died in 1956, with the
"Moonlight Murders" still
unsolved.

cases"-are pulled from the
files and given to investigators

former deputy clerk of the
court in the era of the crime.
I)arby referred the investigator
to Palsy Silcox, who provided
details of her father-in-law's
murder.
The two cases, however,
were not connected until later
when Horzepa found the
McDonald confession in the
"Moonlight Murders" file. It
had been there all those years,
waiting or someone to read it.
Without a douhb, dozens of
people had access to-and had
probably read -the confession.
Dolph Reddish, a former
sheriff inl Bradford County,

was 17 at the time of the
crime. He spent time in his
father's office and wanas
cognizianl of the nmodus
operandi. When he was elected
to the office-following his
father's retirement-he
realized the deficiencies of law
enforcement training,
especially in the small counties
of northeast Florida. At that
time, there was no statewide
law enforcement agency to
coordinate cases, and very
little information was
exchanged between counties.
Both cases are considered
closed. The major participants
are dead or no longer active.
However, the mystery remains:
How could everyone
concerned fail to read
McDonald's confession and
take no action?

Tornadoes suffer 38-0 shutout against Fort White

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Alexis Blake and Xavier
Blake combined to score four
touchdowns as host Fort While
defeated the Bradford football
team 38-0 in the season opener
for both teams on Sept. 5.
Alexis Blake turned a short
pass into a 51--yard touchdown
to give the Indians a 14-0 first
quarter lead and scored again
on a 22-yard reception in the
third quarter.
Xavier Blake rushed for 156
yards and two touchdowns on
19 carries.
It was a rough way to start
the season for a young
Bradford team that is in
rebuilding mode. Second-year
head coach Steve Hoard said
what stood out about the game
was Bradford's lack of
physical maturity and
experience.
The Tornadoes have failed
to score this season-they lost
12-0 to Union County in a half
of play during an Aug. 29
preseason kickoff classic-but
Hoard said his team has shown
signs of improvement. He
knows, however, that his team
has a long way to go.
"You can see the
improvement," Hoard said,
"but the improvement is not
good enough yet."
It was a good start for the
Tornadoes as they threatened
to score first. Rodney Mosley
broke free for a 43-yard run
that gave his team a first down

at the Fort White 12. He
followed that up with a 6-yard
run, but Bradford fumbled the
ball on second down, with the
Indians recovering.
Bradford's offense never
crossed midfield again (a
fumble recovery did give the
Tornadoes the ball at the Fort
White 35-yard line in- the
fourth quarter). The
Tornadoes, after that initial
drive, gained just five first
downs, went three-and-out five

times, fumbled the ball six
times (losing one) and turned
the ball over on an
interception.
Hoard said it's difficult right
now for the young players on
offense to put bad things
behind them.
"Their psyche is fragile right
now," Hoard said.
The defense has the benefit
of a few more experienced
players, but is young as well,

Bradford faces longtime rival Friday

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Bradford holds a decisive
edge in its football rivalry
against Baker County, but the
Wildcats have enjoyed the
most recent success in the
long-time series, having won
three of the last four'meetings.
Baker County attempts to go
for a third straight win over the
Tornadoes this Friday, Sept.
12, in Macclenny at 7:30 p.m.
The two schools have played
each other 56 times,, with
Bradford leading the series 40-
15-1. The Tornadoes defeated
Baker 20-18 in 2005, but the
Wildcats heve since enjoyed.
22 -8,nd LI7.W .S,. ....
Third ea'r -head coachh
Bobby Johns has led a
resurgence in Baker County.
The Wildcats went 5-5 his first
year, but were 10-2 last year,
winning the District 3
championship in Class 3A and
qualifying for the postseason
for the first time in five years.
Baker County graduated 21
players from that team,
including all-state quarterback
Carlos Hoiton, but the 'Cats

are off to another strong start,
opening the season last week
by defeating Union County 44-
0. Plus, many players helped
the school win a state
championship in weightlifting
last year.

Bradford head coach Steve
Hoard said it will be a tough
matchup for his young,
inexperienced squad, which
dealing with several injuries.
The thing that impresses him
the most about Baker is the
sheer physical strength the
players possess. The Wildcats
have three big running backs

the offensive fine, though not
'big i'nisiia, Fs1i~ts ofiplay3rV
who are very strong, Hoard
said.
Last season, Baker scored an
average of 33 points per game.
Defensively, the Wildcats
recovered three fumbles and
returned two interceptions for
touchdowns in their win over
Union last week. It was the
unit's first shutout since a 30-0
win over Ridgeview on Sept.
22,2006.

Opponents scored an
average of 15 points a game
against the Wildcats last year.
Bradford held Baker to its
lowest point total last year
(aside from the Wildcats' 30-6
loss to St. Augustine in the
second round of the regional
playoffs), but the Wildcats'
defense was even stingier in
handing the Tornadoes a 12-7
loss.
The Tornadoes gained 111
yards against the Wildcats and
did not score until 6:53
remained when graduate
Chuckie Covington crossed the
goal line on a 3-yard run.
Baker, though, never
Relinquished the ball after
.-Caui, gtou,'s.score,. relying on
Holion much as they had up to
that point. Holton, who rushed
for 104 yards and a touchdown

on 14 carries, gained several
big first downs in the latter
stages of the game.
The Wildcats generated 309
yards of offense and 22 first
downs.

touchdown drive after a
shanked punt put the Indians at
the Bradford 16. The result
was three straight carries by
Xavier Blake, the last a two-
yard plunge into the end zone.
The PAT put Fort White up 7-
0 with 4:43 to play in the first
quarter.
The Indians had to travel a
little farther on their next
drive, but needed only two
plays to find the end zone
when Alexis Blake took a
screen pass and broke free on
the outside, outracing
Bradford's defenders for a 51-
yard score.
Bradford did gain two first
downs on the subsequent
drive. An unsportsmanlike
conduct penalty against Fort
White was responsible for one,
while Gerald Goodman gained
the other on a 6-yard run. A
fumble, though, killed the
drive, giving the Indians the
ball at midfield.
Fort White faced a fourth-
and-13 play, but was able to
pick up the first down on a 23-
yard run by Xavier Blake to
the Bradford 14. The Indians
eventually settled for a 25-yard
field goal and a 17-0 lead at
the 6:21 mark of the second
quarter.

Mosley, who rushed for 89
yards on nine carrie, gained a
first down for the Tornadoes
on a 23-yard run, but the drive
ultimately went nowhere as
Bradford punted the ball away.
The Indians were able to
tack on one more score before
halftime. Three consecutive
runs by Xavier Blake resulted
in first downs, while his 12-
yard run to the I-yard line set
up his second touchdown of
the night with 53 seconds left
on the clock.
Fort White turned that 24-0
lead into 31-0 on the opening

series of the second half. A 19-
yard reception by Bo Kirby
and an Il-yard run by Xavier
Blake resulted in first downs
before quarterback Alex
Gilmer connected with Alexis
Blake in the corner of the erd
zone for a 19-yard touchdown.
Bradford's defense turned
back a potential score when
Jonathan Best intercepted; a
Gilmer pass at the Bradford 6-
yard line. The Tornadoes,
however, went three-and-out,
with another short punt giving
the Indians good field position
at the Bradford 22. Fort White
tacked on the final score of .te
game when Jordan Dewhirst
caught a 6-yard touchdown
pass from Gilmer as time
expired in the third quarter. ;
Hoard admitted the potential
is there for the Tornadoes.,to
have a rough season, but he
vowed the team would make
strides as the players continue
to work hard.
"We'll be, better," Hoard
said.

Indians show need to improve after 38-21 loss

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Keystone Heights' success
during the last couple of
seasons has hinged on its
offense's ability to control the
line of scrimmage, run the ball
and put together long, time-
consuming drives, but the
Indians failed to do any of
those things with consistency
in a 38-21 season-opening loss
to visiting Lafayette on Sept.
4
Keystone head coach Chuck
Dickinson said he knew his
team would go through some
growing pains this season. The
team graduated its entire
offensive line from last season
as well as 1,000-yard backs
Matt Story and Greg Taylor.
However, he told his players
after the game they will learn
how to play power football.
Their success depends upon it.
"We win games keeping
people off the field,"
Dickinson said. "We didn't do
that tonight."
The Indians went three-and-
out on four offensive series
and turned the ball over three
times. What disappointed
Dickinson the most, though,
were the penalties his team
accrued and its inability to do
what past teams have been
able to do. Keystone was
flagged for holding five times,
while having to resort to
throwing the ball for one score
after failing to gain positive
yards on a third-and-2 play
from the Lafayette 3-yard line.
Lafayette was able to dump
Keystone backs for losses on
several short-yardage plays.
One drive saw the Indians lose
yards on three straight carries.
Keystone finished with
approximately 130 yards on
the ground.
"We've got to be able to line
up and run," Dickinson said.
"We've got to get better."

Running back Marcel
Robinson did break free for a
43-yard touchdown run that
pulled the Indians within 10-7
with 9:55 to play in the first
half, but Lafayette responded
by scoring three straight
touchdowns. A 1-yard plunge
by running back Sergio Perez
put the Hornets up 31-7 with

2:26 to play in the third
quarter.
Keystone did make some
plays with its passing game
when forced to play catch-up.
Quarterback Brantley Lott
misfired on his first four pass
attempts, but completed nine
of his last 13 attempts for 187
yards and two touchdowns.
Wide receiver Ryan Latner,
who was on the receiving end
of both of those scores, caught
four passes for 124 yards.
"I thought we threw the ball
well at times, and we executed
some plays pretty good, but
we've still got a ways to go,"
Dickinson said.

Lafayette, after going up 3-
0, scored its first touchdown
after recovering a fumble at
the Keystone 36. Perez turned
a short.pass into a 21-yard gain
before quarterback Nick
Bracewell found receiver
Jamaal Reid in the corner of
the end zone for a 15-yard play
and a 10-0 lead at the 6:12
mark of the.first quarter.
The Indians, seeking their
first first down of the game,
appeared to have it on their
third series, but a holding
penalty wiped the play out,

holding penalty seemed to stop
their momentum. On third-
and-16, though, Lott rolled out
of the pocket, pulled up to
pass, scrambled around some
more, then fired a pass
downfield to Latner, who was
behind the secondary for a 56-
yard touchdown that capped
the scoring.
"I thought the kids played
hard," Dickinson said. "They
didn't give up, but we've just
got to get better."

forcing them to punt.
Things appeared to be
looking up for the Indians after
Robinson's second-quarter
touchdown run. The defense
forced the Hornets to go three-
and-out on a series that
featured Brett Anderson and
Jacob Van Wagner dropping
Perez for no gain and Zack
Davis and Kevin Gillain
teaming up to tackle Reid for a
I-yard loss on an end around.
A 10-yard run by fullback
Garrett Strickland gave the
Indians a first down at
midfield, but a holding penalty
on the next play pushed
Keystone back to its 39. The
drive ended when Thomas
Byrd intercepted Lott.
Perez picked up three first
downs for the Hornets on the
ensuing series, but it was
Bracewell who capped the
drive, tossing a 15-yard
touchdown pass to Casey
Brewer. The PAT put the
Hornets up 17-7 with 2:26
remaining in the first half.
Lafayette's Shyler Morgan,
the game's leading rusher, put
the Hornets up 24-7 early in
the third quarter. His 33-yard
run set up his own 4-yard

touchdown run at the 7:51
mark.
Morgan, who finished the
game with 112 yards on 11
carries, had a 22-yard run on
Lafayette's next series, giving
the Hornets a first down at the
Keystone 36. He was dropped
for no gain by Dillon Van
Wagner on the next play, but
Reid burned the Indians with a
35-yard reception that set up
Perez' 1-yard score and the
Hornets' 24-point lead.
Latner returned the ensuing
kickoff 31 yards to the
Keystone 40, then caught a
deep pass from Lott in stride
for a 49-yard gain to the
Lafayette I1. Latner later
caught a 7-yard touchdown
pass after time expired in the
third quarter. Tim Frysinger's
PAT made the score 31-14.
Lafayette's Tyler Chancey
set up the Hornets' last score
when he intercepted a pass and
returned it more than 50 yards
to the Keystone 7. Reid then
added his second score of the
night with a 7-yard touchdown
reception with 8:24 left in the
game.
Two runs resulting in first
downs by Strickland had the

Keystone plays a team on a roll Friday

Telegraph Staff Writer
In the midst of winning just
once in their first seven games
last season, the Fort White
Indians were still able to give
Keystone Heights all it could
handle before falling 48-40.
This year, Fort White brings
experience and, it would seem,
confidence as the two teams
prepare to square off again.
Keystone travels to Fort
White to take on the Indians
Friday, Sept. 12, at 7:30 p.m.
Fort White is coming off of a
38-0 win over Bradford-one
of Keystone's District 3-2A
opponents-to open the
season.
With that win, Fort White
has now won five of its last six
games. The Indians closed the
regular season last year by
winning three straight. They
then defeated Pensacola
Catholic 36-34 in the first
round of the playoffs before
losing 41-0 to eventual state
champ Madison County.
The Indians return 18
starters from that team,
including senior wide receiver
Jordan Dewhirst, junior
quarterback Alex Gilmer and
sophomore running back
Alexis Blake, who were
responsible for five
touchdo% ns in last year's loss

In the win over Bradford,
Xavier Blake rushed for 144
yards and two touchdowns on
19 carries. Gilmer completed
just seven of his 17 pass
attempts, but he three of those
were good for three
touchdowns. Alexis Blake
caught three passes for 85
yards and two touchdowns,
while Dewhirst had three
receptions for 25 yards and a
score.
Every starter but one returns
from last year's defense: senior

lineman AJ. Parnell,
sophomore lineman Chris

Desha Cray and Tyler Sherrod,
junior linebacker Roy Blake,
junior defensive back Montie

Cray and sophomore defensive
backs Alexis Blake and
Anthony Smalls.
Fort White allowed Bradford
to gain just 129 yards last
week.
In last season's meeting
between Fort White and
Keystone, Keystone had seven
rushing touchdowns-five of
which came from graduate
Matt Story. Senior Thomas
Ricketts, one of the team's
current starters at running
back, scored on a I-yard run.
Dewhirst caught touchdown
passes of 4, 10 and 13 yards
from Gilmer to help Fort
White's cause, while Alexis
Blake scored twice on kickoff
returns of 88 and 96 yards.
Xavier Blake also had a score
on a I-yard run.

There was not much
difference between the two
teams in terms of total
yardage, but Union County
had five turnovers in a season-
opening 44-0 loss to Class 3A
Baker County on Sept. 4 in
Macclenny.
The Tigers finished the
game with 198 yards, while
Baker had 222. The Wildcats,
though, returned two
interceptions for touchdowns,
drove for another score after
recovering a fumble and
tackled Bryan Holmes in the
end zone on a punt return for a
first-quarter safety. Baker,
after receiving the free kick
following the safety, would
drive for a touchdown for a 16-
0 lead early in the second
quarter.
Baker drove 90 yards on the
game's opening possession.
Union's Lonnie Gosha had a
couple of big tackles on
defense during the drive, while
the Wildcats had a touchdown
run called back because of a
penalty. Baker would
eventually score and succeed
on the two-point conversion
attempt for an 8-0 lead.
After going up 16-0, the
Wildcats quickly increased
that lead when quarterback
Chris Alexander's interception
was returned for a score. That
put Baker up 23-0, which was
the score at the half.
The Tigers got off to a
positive start to open the

Keystone Heights was able
Ito record a sweep in its first
district volleyball match of the
season, defeating visiting
-Bradford 3-0 (25-16, 25-19,
25-14) on Sept. 4.
Carey Taylor and Morgan
Maxwell had eight and seven
kills, respectively, while Katie
McCollum had 19 assists.
Maranda Gibbs had 15 digs.
The Indians opened the
season with a 3-1 (29-27, 27-
25, 25-27, 25-21) loss to Clay
on Sept. 3 in Green Cove
Springs. Gibbs had 23 digs,

second half on a long kickoff
return by Holmes, but the team
had trouble holding onto the
ball. Quarterback Alvin
Jernigan recovered one fumble
and managed to turn it into a
5-yard gain, but another
fumble later in the drive was
recovered by the Wildcats.
Baker responded by gaining
first downs on three straight
runs up the middle. A personal
foul call against the Tigers also
helped the 'Cats' effort as they
marched downfield and scored
for a 30-0 lead.
Caleb Dukes made a good
defensive play for the Tigers
with a tackle that forced the
'Cats into a second-and-25
play, but Baker completed a
long pass and eventually
scored to go up 37-0.
The scoring was capped in
the fourth quarter when the
Wildcats returned another
interception for a touchdown.

Struggling Trojans
are up next for UC
Union returns home to face
an opponent that had a similar
outing to open the season.
The Tigers host Hamilton
County Friday, Sept. 12, at
7:30 p.m. Like Union,
Hamilton suffered a shutout
last week, losing 33-0 to
Suwannee.
In fact, the Trojans are still
looking for their first points
since the\ were also shut out in
their preseason kickoff
classic-a 37-0 loss to
Lafayette.

Gray were the kills leaders
with seven and six,
respectively, while Katie
Easton had five service aces.
Keystone (1-1 prior to Sept.
9) played Baker County this
past Tuesday and will host
Ridgeview tonight, Sept. 11, at
6 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 12, the
Indians travel to play St. Johns
Country Day at 6:30 p.m.
before traveling to take on
district opponent Crescent City
on Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 6:30
p.m.

The Trojans have not
experienced much success of
late. They went 5-16 the last
two seasons, with all but one
of those five wins coming
against sub-..500 teams (the
other win was against a team
that finished the year 5-5).
They are on a five-game losing
streak, having been outscored
in those games 172-52.
Opponents scored an
average of 21 points per game
against Hamilton last year,
while the Trojans themselves
scored an average of 15 a
game.
That was almost exactly how
the Tigers' game against the
Trojans turned out last year.
Special teams and defense
accounted for two scores in
Union's 20-14 win.
Gosha recovered a blocked
punt at the Hamilton 2-yard
line, which set the Tigers up
for one touchdown, while
Michael Chandler recovered a
fumble in the end zone for
another score.
Current fullback Justin
Tyson had Union's other
touchdown.
Defensively, Union held the
-Trojans to 20 yards rushing on
26 attempts.
Turnovers were a problem
for both teams as each had
three. Union defensive back
SJ. Simmons, a current senior,
came up with one on an
interception.

on information provided by
Union County Times staff
writer Teresa Stone Irwin.

preseason cross country
jamboree hosted by Buchholz
High School at Santa Fe
College in Gainesville,
including Amanda Hall, who
bested a personal record by
more than four minutes.
Hall, a seventh-grader,
posted a 5K time of 27:58 to
lead the group of girls' runners
who competed, for Bradford.
Christina Jordan had a time of
29:12, followed by Shaina
Harden (30:47), Deanna
Jordan (30:50 and Tiana
Sheffield (31:14). Deanna
Jordan's time was a personal
record.

Andy Merrill led Bradford's
boys with a time of 20:14. He
was followed by Justin Clem
(21:27), David Weeks (24:28),
Marcus Thompson (25:44) and
Tyler Greenhaw (25:58).
Gr'eenhaw's and Thompson's
times were personal records.

as well as a golf cap, goodie bag and a medallion at the conclusion of the clinic.
